If it’s a versatile pup you covet this spring, how about one that’s superior at doing what hunters need most and do poorest for themselves? Face it: We can stumble onto game occasionally, but our eyes are such terrible substitutes for decent noses that we’re lucky to find downed birds on bare bean fields. The very best versatile dog needs to be a retriever first and foremost. Add pointing instincts to that retriever and you have a real workhorse—the pointing Lab.
“Adding pointing instincts” usually suggests outcrosses, but that was not necessary or sensible in developing pointing Labs. It’s been about 150 years since the St. John’s water dogs were exported to England, where some gamekeepers crossed them onto pointers and setters to improve grace and movement while hunting and retrieving on land. --Learn More
Jake has shown us what a great lab is. He has an intense desire to hunt and retrieve,and a very strong desire to please. He is robust and intense yet easy for my children to handle. He is not a barker, holds himself with that regal air and does his work with style. His puppies are fast-learning, good looking dogs who are successful hunters, obedience dogs,family companions and even therapy dogs. --Learn More
Talon GMPR, SH, owned by Brad Donald of HIghpoint Labradors in South Dakota is a fox red color with a great temperament and a lot of drive. Talon is an extremely athletic, ripped, bird finding, pointing machine!
Rooster is one of the more accomplished hunt test dogs in the country, doing things few other dogs have done while rarely failing a test. He is a deceiving animal, exceptionally mild mannered in the house and when in the field 100%. Easily the best off switch we have seen to date, with exceptional line manners and steadiness. He will be a great match for bitches who may be lacking in manners in the kennel, at the line or in the house. His top notch marking skills and trainability are other serious areas he could improve along with exceptional memory. --Learn More
Kenai was whelped 12/20/2007 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. He had energy, drive, and smarts that I thought set him a little bit apart from the other pups in a really good litter. Kenai was sent to Dale Swiderski at Hunter's Rose Kennels for some basic training and the rest is history. Kenai advanced so quickly that I kept sending him back to training just to see how far he could go. He was a CPR at 9 months, an APR the next spring, and got his GMPR the following fall at less than two years old. --Learn More
